Ive been putting off buying a handgun, but my neighborhood has gotten out of control. Last night, there was a home invasion 3 houses down from me and there were 5-6 in my city just last week. What could I get in the area of $300-400 and what guns do you guys recommend?

Remember...no mater what anyone...ANYONE tells you...this is a tool. A tool of destruction. A tool that DESTROYS. A tool that's main purpose is to kill. Treat it as such. You respect it and treat it right it will treat you right and possibly save your life. You disrespect it and it'll be like a wild dog and bite you when you aren't looking.

Take a look at the Beretta PX4 Storm. You can get the 9mm version for less than $500. Fill up its 17 round clip with hollowpoints and relax.

Very low recoil, even for a 9mm. Feels great in your hand. Very reliable & accurate.

FOR $300-$400 I WOULDN'T EVEN BUY A HANDGUN, I WOULD BUY A MOSSBERG..............THE ONLY THING YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BUY AT THAT PRICE IS A GLOCK.......AND IF YOU ARE GOING WITH A GLOCK I WOULD SUGGEST THE GLOCK 17...........JUST MY OPINION.

LittleJoeMama - I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one Bob. I'll take a shotgun over a pistol all day long in a defensive situation. Victory through superior firepower, but to each his own.

I know lots of guys that feel the same as you do, and it's not invalid. I just think in a fast moving situation the pistol is a better choice.

I have a Mossberg 500 pistol grip that I use for home defense. I paid $220, it's an awesome gun. I imagine the intruders seeing or hearing me pump that gun will cause them to run in terror, doubt I'll ever have to use it.
